We stumbled onto this place looking for lunch on a busy Sunday. We got an outdoor table pretty quickly, ordered our food, it came in a reasonable amount of time. The food was delicious, and the service was actually really really good, friendly, they checked on us often. We loved our ramen, and our katsu curry. Even the French fries, which are a little odd to have on this menu, were delicious!

If you’re from Vancouver and you tried Jinya’s vegetarian ramen, listen closely: this place makes better and the best vegetarian broth. 100% made from scratch (like you can literally tell). I’m definitely gonna make recurring visits every time I’m in the area.

Tonkotsu Ramen tasted okay but Tonkatsu Curry and wasn’t really the best. Tbh I didn’t really enjoy the vibes. The service could be better. Overall, it was okay. Ramen was beyond my expectations. I might visit here again when I want to have Ramen.

I ordered the vegetarian ramen. It was delicious, the best i’ve had so far. Im not a vegetarian but I don’t eat much meat either. The Gyoza i ordered were soo good! Im excited to order from this restaurant again.

Came here with my mom and absolutely loved everything about it! We were seated instantly and chose an outdoor table since the day was so nice. It is located in downtown and the street was closed off which was great. I got the miso ramen and my mom got the shio ramen and both were very flavorful. I would also recommend the fries with their okonomi sauce it is so delicious. Since we are Japanese, we have been looking for an authentic Japanese ramen restaurant and this is our favorite we have tried. There even was a lunch special where you could choose a ramen with a $5 side. The owner is originally from Japan and is so kind. This is our new comfort food spot and we will definitely be coming back very soon.

Nothing bad, just wasn’t good enough to justify the price. The tonkatsu was flavorful, but a little heavy and not enough meat. The classic shoyu was lighter and also had thinner noodles. Service cadence felt rushed.

Five stars for excellent service! Our waiter was Alex and even though he had only been speaking English for two months my friends and I were extremely impressed at how he perfected communicated to us his recommendations. I was also really grateful at how patient he is with us and how he helped us order when we had trouble deciding. Alex will keep it real with you, if you want to order something that he doesn’t particularly like on the menu, he will let you know to make sure you are truly happy with your experience. Someone give Alex a raise because he was truly doing the most.
